HC Deb 18 May 1989 vol 153 cc276-7W
Mr. Curry

To ask the Secretary of State for Transport when he intends to make an announcement about further improvements to the A1 in north Yorkshire.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

Schemes to improve the A1 for the majority of the length in north Yorkshire are already included in the national trunk road programme. The following announcements about these are expected before the end of the summer:

  1. (i) the joint decision by the Secretaries of State for Transport and the Environment on whether to make the published orders for the Wetherby to Dishforth section; and
    2. 277
  2. (ii) the publication of draft orders for a new junction at Gatenby lane.

The remaining lengths were considered as part of the review of the trunk road programme. My right hon. Friend announced the results of that review earlier today.
